    So, it's not going to be at the curb after all, huh? Nuts. I think I can get it in my Civic if I pull the rear axle and lay it on it's side (which is about a 10 minute job on a Tecate!) which cuts my gas cost 65%.

    Do yourself a favor and get that flywheel checked ASAP. They can wreak havoc when they come loose.

    If it is driving you that crazy, take the thing off the trike, remove fuel valve and mounting brackets and send it my way. I will PM you my address.

    KEEP IT!!!!!!!! depending how much you want to spend to fix and tailor to your tastes but any trike is worth fixing just what are you willing to put into it is the question at hand. btw that is a real clean trike and looks like it was at the very least cared for more than most trikes that survived 30+ years

    Well if you do one factor, to it eliminate the flywheel and deliver it to jeswinehart here on the forums and have the heat, epoxied in position when the come reduce they don't go out without getting a few areas, along with them.
